Show off your Drupal site

Background: FirstLightNet.com is a US based Internet Advertising company specializing in the "Outdoor Sports" niche.

Goal: To build an easily maintained but functional and effective dynamic website, offering web advertising in the hunting, and fishing industries. It will also need to fully integrate with an external database of several hundred existing sites in the FLN inventory.

Why we chose drupal:

For the FirstLightNet project we needed a very scalable and stable content management system. It was important to be able to use different layouts for different pages and sections of the site, so full control over the templates was a must. In my mind Drupal offers more template flexibility than any other solution, and the folks entering and updating the content were already familiar with Drupal for creating pages etc. so Drupal was (again) the natural choice.

Design/layout notes:

Hi, today i publishet R.ED. costruzioni drupal site - http://www.redcostruzioni.it

Take a look: HousesOfSavannah.com.

Views, Contemplate, the usual super goodies, with a MooTools navigation thrown in there.

Unfortunately, MooTools breaks a lot of the jquery stuff, such as dropdowns. Luckily since the site is for a client that isn't doing much editing, it doesn't matter. I know about the jquery noconflict mode stuff but didn't bother messing with it since I don't need to fix what's broken. Worst case scenario, I just comment out the script when I need to edit deep down.

Enjoy.

Mallnitz Online. Drupal-Site with some specials like livecams, tourism-modules and so on. Mallnitz is a small village in Austria / Carinthia nice for skiing-, hiking-holidays and much more.

The goal of the site is to be something like a cross between a message board, a blog, a social networking site, bookmarking site, voting site, news site. The home page content is determined by user votes and last comment date (basically the content has to get x # of positive votes to be promoted then it's sorted by last comment date descending). The site also has buddy lists so you can have a network of friends on the site. When you post content, you can decide whether the content is viewable by everyone, just your buddies, or just yourself. There is only one type of content on the site called a "post". A post can include textual content, inline images, an image gallery, and multiple videos. The videos work like youtube... upload the video and it's converted to FLV format on the back end. you can decide the order of each section of your post (body, videos, image gallery). Only the first section shows up in the teasers. the site also includes invite functionality and private messages... there some more stuff I still need to tweak, but check it out if you get a minute and let me know if you find any bugs...

Along the beautiful beaches of Indian Shores, just a few short minutes from the Tampa or St. Petersburg-Clearwater airports, Bay & Beach Club will soon be your private home away from home.

What seemed to be a simple site in the beginning actually ended up presenting some surprising challenges in it's customization. The Resort owner account is shared among all owners (one account - many users), so this required some serious account lock down. Owners are not able to change the password, or any other account settings. The contact form's auto-fill name/password has been removed. The owners account name is prefilled in the login and they are automatically taken to their appropriate documents after logging in.

There is a simple custom module to allow the admin to easily change condo rates and an interactive, fully automated AJAX time-share calendar.

There are quite a few custom node templates to get the site working correctly. And we're happy to say that as flexible as we're finding Drupal to be, we did not have to hack code or any contrib modules at all. It seems like there is almost always a way to get your desired results without having to hack.

For the google map, I had wanted to use the gmap module but after some warning signs, I simply added the map data into a page template file and the node body content.
